Baxter Parp Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 2 minutes ago, DA Baracus said: Why should anyone other than the person in the role have to fund how they dress? There's zero need for clothing expenses. Like everyone else whoever is provost should pay for their own work clothes. What makes you think everyone else pays for their work clothes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Unless a specific uniform is required then everyone should have to pay for their own work clothes. If a specific uniform, or part of it, is required then the company should provide it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are suggesting that someone meeting a female provost researches what they wore to previous meetings and that, if they saw an outfit was being worn again, would cause some sort of issue? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Uh-huh and are women scrutinised in the same way as men? I've asked lots of times but nobody's answered.Yes they are. I have a number of different suits, shirts and trousers which I wear depending on which client I am visiting. You cant hold the room in some meetings wearing a suit from Asda when the rest of the room is wearing suits costing £300 plus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
